Last weekend, we had a bad storm out here in the Bay Area. Some of you may have heard about it, but it was our first bad storm in the house. It has rained before, but this was the worst by far. We didn't really have any damage, but our neighbor told us that a tree in his backyard broke. A few of my coworkers didn't fare so well- one had a portion of his fence broken and was without electricity for a day and another had a broken window. In the past, we haven't had any water seepage, but this storm caused a little bit of water to pool up in the basement. The sump pump doesn't seem to be working and probably needs to be replaced, but at least we didn't have any real damage. The weather has been pretty bad lately, so I'm looking forward to a nice, sunny day soon. Guess I shouldn't complain since most of you out there are battling the snow. How soon we forget...
Since the weather was so bad, we didn't really want to go out too much. We ended up spending Saturday night at Sujay and Matilde's for an impromptu sleepover. We also got a chance to hang out with the Schneiders there which was nice. It's been a while since all of us have been able to hang out. Time passes by quickly in the company of good friends.
The next few weeks are going to be busy for us. This weekend, Jeannette and Jon are going to be visiting us because Jon has interviews for residency. The following weekend we have plans for a friend's birthday. The weekend after that, we are going to LA to pick up Edwin's old bed and dresser for the guest room and the BBQ for the backyard. The weekend after that we have a wedding. And then Laura and Alex might come for a visit the weekend after that. Not to mention that we need to pick out all of the stuff that we will need for the kitchen renovation during this time since we are hoping to start construction in mid-February. I really thought that things would slow down after the holidays. I guess maybe in the spring???
